Re: Camera

Personally, I am opposed to breaking something that is already working.

2009 FRC Control System Manual: Section 3 – Component Datasheets, Rev 0.5

"How do I build a cable for passing 5V power to the Ethernet camera?
• Take the camera’s power adapter (PN SA106A-0512-6) and cut the wire off close to the
Wall-Wart.
o Note: There are two power adapters for the camera included in the Kit, one in the
camera box and one separate. Use the separate one (PN SA106A-0512-6) to make
this adapter.
• Separate the wires and strip 5-6mm off the ends.
• Use a small flat head screwdriver to open the WAGO 739-302.
• Insert the positive (striped) wire in the right port. Note: the correct orientation can be verified
by looking at the silk screen on the PD Module.
• Insert the negative wire in the left port.
• Give a smart tug to verify the connection is secure.
• Power the PD, and verify that the barrel connector’s center conductor is positive."

I bet if you take the power adapter to Radio Shack(Digikey, Mouser, etc.), you will find a connector that you can wire yourself.
